I agree. Ive wondered about manufacturers claims. Ever since I had a "STOCK" Camaro Z28 rated at 305hp, dyno 303rwhp. Makes you wonder.....
I know there are new tests done to rate power, but I bet you can tweak,fake, pay-off whatverer and get a bunch of freak cars out there. This would maybe apply to that thread of the guy with a New Z06 that he got direct from Chevy marketing and it beat a S/C Paxton Viper SRT.
As much as I dont want to take away credit to a skilled driver, its too easy for guys to pull tricks. Thats why theres always motor pulls in racing. Theres alot of ways to cheat. Sure would have been nice to see that car dyno'd that same day.
Not that anyone cares about my opinion, but I wouldnt believe a story unless I saw the car taken off the dealer lot and to track myself. I also know for a fact that those times would never happen here in California. Either way , great times, now lets get a " stock
" Viper out there and see what it does.
